List of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episodes

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, known in Japan as Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ Hoshi no Kābī), is an anime series adapted from the video game series of the same title by Masahiro Sakurai. Produced by Studio Sign and directed by Sōji Yoshikawa with Mitsuo Kusakabe, the series was broadcast on TV Tokyo and Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting, from October 6, 2001, to September 27, 2003.

Four pieces of theme music were used in the original Japanese version. The first opening theme, titled "Kirby★March" (カービィ★マーチ, Kābī★māchi), is performed by Xiang Qi, who also performed the first ending theme Kihon wa Maru (きほんはまる, "First You Draw a Circle"). The second opening and ending themes, used from episode 72 onwards, are "Kirby!" (カービィ!, Kābī!) performed by Hiroko Asakawa and Kirby☆Step!

Grossfeld and performed by Ralph Schuckett.
